The public is liable to lose confidence
in the alleged book OF laws Just issued
as the result of the legislative session OF
1887. A few days ago We called attention
to the fact that the supposed law for the
creation of territorial board of health
is not a law. though it was duly signed
and approved and printed in the volume
OF enactments. Reference to the record
shows that il did not pass the upper
house of the Legislature. This discovery
IS followed by another discovery equally
important. The board of compilation
has ascertained that the act requiring
county commissioners to take bids for
furnishing fuel, stationery and other
supplies. and to publish their proceed
ings. is not law, the bill having been
lost in the council. Yet it was signed
and approved and has It's place aa law
in the volume Of statutes. These two
instances having come to light provoke
the reasonable suspicion that other
alleged laws are not laws and that the
book Of statutes may be but mass -oi
lmisinformation. Public confidence il
easily disturbed, but after 1t has been sc
rudely shaken it does not readily re.
sumo its normal condition.

For a year ending with March 81, 1887,
the various Grand Army posts of the
United States expended $253, 900 in re-
lieving distress suong 26606 poverty
stricken ex-sol(t; and those dependent
upon them. as much more was distrib-
uted informally for relief and not re-.
ported to headquarters. Frora these
figures 1t appears that 10000 ex ex-soldiers
and their dependents are in poaltions
where they are compelled to accept
charity because Of poverty, disease and
physical inability TO earn their support.
This statement should not prove vain
appeal to the gratitude of nation
which owes it's existence to the men now
suffering in want. 1t ia the strongest
argument yet put forth in behalf OF the
dependent pension bill, ruthlessly des-
troyed by the president of the United
States. There is pathos in these
figures which should overcome even the
proveEbial ingratitude OF a republic. The
subjects OF this form of charity
are men disabled by the hardships OF
public service, and men who sacrificed
the browning opportunities of their lives
that they might give their time to ma
tion just then crying in anguish for de-
tenders. Their comrades who exposed
themselves to the same adversities, and
who are most OF them bat poorly able to
give from their earnings, are now fur
ishing support to the fifty thousand for
whom the nation should provide. When
these men girded on their armor and
went forth to rescue an imperilled flag
it was under solemn promise that they
and those dependent upon them
would be cared for and protected unto
the ends of their lives. a quarter of a
century has hardly passed and we find
them abandoned and neglected, living
upon the meagre aid of their associates
during their years of toll and danger
This is but poor encouragement to the
rising generations whom the country
mey some time again ask to step to the
front and meet the onslaughts of the
enemies of the republic.

f Judge Francis recently varied the
monotony OF proceedings in the conrt
at Mandan by addressing himself for ten
minutes to MIR. Tuttle, editor of the
Mandan Pioneer. Mr.. Tnttle had said
something IN his paper about Judge
Francis method of conducting court and
the judge evened up by laceratlng the
sensitive feelings of the editor In open
court. While the judge was delivering
hIs lecture the editor began taking down
the remarks from the bench in short
hand. The judge ordered him
to desist and emphasized the Or
der with threat OF immediate
imprisonment. This WAS hardly fair.
After the Judge had filed away Mr.. Tut
ties remarks for future reference lie
should have given the editor an equal
opportunity to protect himself. We are
fearful that Judge Francis is OF the
opinion that newspaper editor is not
the peer OF judge. One of his demo.
cratic southern associates upon the
bench is trying to establish snch q
theory in this end of the territory, but
with Indifferent success. 1T is not
probable that republican can succeed
where democrat has failed, particular
ly at this stage of political degeneracy.

GENERAL LOGAN'S RAVEN LOCKS.

A distinguishing Inheritance - The Deep
Feeling of Fellow Soldiers.
Washington Special to New York World.
An incorrect paragraph was printed in New
York this morning giving an interview with an
alleged physician who said that undoubtedly
General Logan's death was produced by the ex-
cessive use of hair-dye. He said that some parts
of the Generals hair, in its natural state was
as white as cotton, but that he dyed his hair
every night. and by that means alone kept it
black 1t is hardly possible to devise more
absurd story. This intensely black hair is
of the predominant traits of the Logans.
His ancestors have been noted for the intense
blackness of their hair. His hair had retained
its color up to within two or three years ago.
GRAY hairs then began to show In very light
degree These were visible when close to him,
but the mass of his hair was still of such pos
tive color that the silver threads were hidden.
His mustache was fully one-third gray at the
time of his death. 1t would be interesting to
have the physician explain how the mass of the
hair could be dyed so that any of the gray hairs
could remain untouched. Both of Senator Lo
CAMS children have the same intensely blue
black hair, and doubtless during the latter part
of their lives they will also be accused of using
hair Ave.

AFTER THE FUNERAL.

Rumors that the Dying Senator Was Dosed
with Morphine by the Doctors.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-There are strange ru-
mors tonight concerning the immediate cause
of Senator Loean's death. 1t is stated that
about forty-eight hours before he died, it be-
came evident to the physicians that he
could not last longer than few hours; that he
suffered great pain, and that they concluded his
last moments might as we'll he made as easy as
possible. At this time so report goes, morphine
some other drug having similar effect, was
administered, although General Logan had asked
to not be given anything which would take from
him his senses. He appreciated that ne was
sinking and could not live long, in all proba-
bility, and wanted to be rational to the end.
Very soon after the drug was ADM nis:ered, so it
is reported, Senator Logan became unconscious,
in which condition he remained till death came.
Some people, in commenting upon the Senator's
death, refer critsizingly to his treatment. and
say that if his life could not have been
spared he should have been kept conscious.
Those who saw the remains they lay in state
at the Capitol remarked the dark complexion of
the face 1t is said. but not generally believed.
that the exceedingly swarthy complexion was
due, in a degree. to the drugs administered.
